The Force stuff is primarily (though it is becoming less so) merely an attempt at a more sophisticated way to have 'superheroes.' Superpowers with style, if you will.

In contrast, wizardry and witchcraft are explicitly denounced Biblically. At most, the Force stuff if you try to delve deeply into it is more related to 'Eastern' religions. Reading about people who have other religions is not necessarily a bad thing. And then there are the huge parts of Star Wars which don't have to do with the Force (the 'secular' stuff, you could term it) such as Han Solo, Chewbacca and smuggling (Han Solo was effectively a drug smuggler--you could criticize that), and the Republic/Rebellion and Empire (and other governments) conflicts.

As for the username, as stated, until recently the 'religion' behind the Force was basically glossed over. It did not play a vital role in the story.

No matter what you call it (superpowers, witchcraft, The Force) it all boils down to some humans having powers and abilities that ordinary humans do not. There is no devil-worship in the Harry Potter series. It is stated several times in the series that the wizards and witches are born with their abilities, it's not something ordinary people can learn.

If Harry Potter had been published by Marvel Comics, he would have been called a mutant.
